Description
Love me, love me not
This practice-based workshop aims to inspire participants to write and encourage them to experiment with their poetic voices. The poet will share with participants her self-journey as a writer - how to crystallise emotions, inner feelings and how one develops a lyrical, imaginative voice. Other than a taster of modern love poems, participants are encouraged to bring their own poems to the workshop for free feedback and to learn to write a sonnet. All poems produced in the workshop may also be considered for the Lingnan's creative journal this year.
Speaker: Jennifer Wong, Writer-in-Residence at Lingnan University
